The Bag Lady

powerful risings

ominous visioned waters

frightening sea waves

scuba divers beware

sharp edges sometimes hidden

unfriendly ocean

Haiku Fridays with J-Dub #5

Well finally I have had an eye appointment and receive new glasses on Tuesday! So happy, and just in time to impress my great grandson who turns one year old on June 6th! As for the rest of my family, they will probably be impressed I am still wheeling around, even though I’m now attached to an oxygen line. This last hospital visit was a bad one and once again I am reminded of how much my family means to me. Take care, stay hydrated and keep moving…😀

One-Liner Wednesday – Jiminy Cricket

The cabbie generously opened the door with a big swish. I almost dropped the memorial candle as his gesture was unexpected. As I settled into the taxi’s back seat he added a bit of what I hoped was candor…”you look lovely this evening, Miss Jones!”

Three Things Challenge #MM437

He jumped up with the bike, took the curve

He thought he had skill and the nerve

The back tire blew

As he came down on a slew

Of old trash he didn’t observe.

#TankaTuesday Poetry Challenge No. 66, Exploring Haiku, 5/26/26

Buying a musical instrument is not for everyone. Children think it may look cool to play the saxophone and don’t have the stamina to play it. This happened to my son since he was a small guy. He then tried the violin and did well until some pieces of music found his little finger too crooked to reach certain places. He ended up playing guitar and still does, and excellent at it. Here’s a photo of my granddaughter who did conquer the saxophone:
